Originally set for an April 27 release date, Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption has been hit with a minor delay.
Publisher Take-Two Interactive announced the delay in First Quarter fiscal 2010 financial results report; the title is now set to ship in North America on May 21, 2010.
The short delay comes after the recent rumors of internal developmental issues, with one source saying the title “was a complete disaster for most of 2009 and previous… it has since turned around a little bit, but there are huge problems with it still.”
Last I saw it, the game looked pretty damned solid, and that was in the summer of 2009. Let’s hope the slight delay will allow Rockstar to put on that extra coat of polish, because Red Dead Redemption is one of my most eagerly anticipated titles for 2010.
